## Resource

In this deeply moving episode, Ashley welcomes Emily Curtis—author, poet, and founder of Hope in the Mourning —to share her story of layered grief, enduring faith, and Gospel-centered hope. What unfolds is a sacred conversation about sorrow upon sorrow: multiple pregnancy losses and the death of her beloved father. Emily invites listeners into the holy space of lament. Through poetry, Scripture, testimony, and raw honesty, this episode creates room for sorrow to be named, carried, and surrendered before a God who sees every tear and remains steadfastly good. This conversation is both tender and theologically rich, offering comfort to grieving mothers while equipping the Church to love better. Whether you are walking through miscarriage, compounded grief, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers language for pain, permission to lament, and hope rooted firmly in Christ. In this episode, we discussed: Navigating compound grief —when sorrow stacks upon sorrow Wrestling honestly with God when grief feels unfair or overwhelming Why lament is biblical (and how to lament, based on the pattern of the Psalms) Naming babies in Heaven and the healing power of honoring their lives What not to say to grieving parents and why Christian platitudes aren't helpful The ministry and mission behind Hope in the Mourning Poetry as a form of lament, worship, and hope GET THE BOOK!
